Communication having been made by the Honorable Ordinary Council Marten Pith in Raade, that yesterday at the evening meeting, the woman of this place, Jelletie Hartmans, had presented a certification by two consensual witnesses,50 meaning, furthermore, neither for further confirmation of this nor verbally heard a third party, that they of a certain German woman named Margareta Hoeffnaegels,51 residing at the Ronde Bossie, had been in labor and, by God's gracious blessing, had been fortunately released; thus, the arrest remains in its entirety in the reguart of the aforementioned Jelletie Hartmans, taken yesterday, without any further inquiry being deemed necessary.
The citizen and former free shoemaker, Barent Backer, having requested permission in this Council to depart for Batavia with his family on one of the ships present at the roadstead, was granted permission, as the Colony here will not derive any benefit from his person, and has thus far had to be supported by the deacon, and he will be ordered to board one of the ships that is least obstructed.
Thus resolved and arrested at the Castle of Good Hope, date above.
